A late piece of information clarifying the remote search capability of WS-FTP:

WS_FTP Professional gives users the option of integrating with either Google, Copernic or Windows desktop search engines. I think the confusion is the “integration�. Windows search is pretty standard and comes installed on most computers. However, both Google and Copernic desktop search engines need to be installed by end-users separately from WS_FTP (they are both free products). If a user has Google and/or Copernic desktop search installed on their computer than they can seamlessly integrate to those engines from within WS_FTP Professional to search for files.

Chapter 7 of the attached Tools Guide goes into it in a bit more detail. I’ve also attached a high-level screenshot with callouts that show the Search button. Users can customize the top toolbar with whatever icons/features the use most often.

And a summary and screenshot can be found here: http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp/features.asp

In the screenshot, you’ll notice the end user has the option to select Google, Copernic or Local (Local = Windows search). This means that the computer has Google and Copernic desktop searches installed.

On a side note, if you like the Tools Guide, we also have a Security Guide avail that provides more details about our security capabilities. Let me know if you’d also like that. Both docs provide details about some of the key product features.
